Watch RESCUE

One Life at a Time

Recommended Reading

The following are a list of highly recommended readings from our staff and volunteers. The tens of millions of dogs and cats that are euthanized every year in the United States is testimony to the fact that many people have had pets, but precious few actually know how to successfully work through the inevitable problems, big or small, that will inevitably occur with any animal that is part of your family. So, read for fun, or read to educate yourself on a specific issue . . . in any case, enjoy!
